Had a problem with my ignition switch, steering column not unlocking on my 2013 Kia sorrento. Put the key in, would not turn. Finally, I jerked on the steering wheel back and forth, it finally turned. Then, my sisters 2013 Kia-optima did the same thing about a week ago! I called the dealer and was told that because the wheels were turn that this would cause this to happen. I informed him that in both cases, the vehicles were in the garage, on flat service, wheels pointing straight. Was told if it happens again, bring it in.
The contact owns a 2013 Kia Sorento. The contact stated that when the vehicle was idling, he felt a shimmy through the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the vehicle was repaired but the contact was unsure of what exact repairs were completed. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 600 and the current mileage was 2,400....updated 10/19/12 the consumer stated the vehicle would idle in a rough manner. When at a stop. Updated 10/25/12
